Process and customizations Information System Project Management

Project Management Process Project Processes : projects are composed of process. A process is a series of actions bringing about a result. Project processes are performed by people and generally fall into one of two major categories : Project Management Processes describe, organized and complete the work of the project Product – oriented processes specify and create the project’s product. Product – oriented processes are typically defined by the project life and vary by application area

Project Management Process Process Groups : Project management processes can be organized into five groups of one or more processes each : Initiating processes : authorizing the project phase Planning process : defining and refining objectives and selecting the best of the alternatives courses of action to attain the objectives that the project was undertaken to address Executing processes : coordinating people and other resources to carry out the plan Controlling processes : ensuring that monitoring and measuring progress regularly to identify variances from plan so that corrective action can be taken when necessary meet project objectives Closing processes : formalizing acceptance of the project or phase and bringing it to an orderly end

Project Management Process Process Interactions : within each process group, the individual processes are linked by their inputs and outputs. So each process can describe in terms : Inputs : documents or documentable items that will be acted upon Tools and techniques : mechanism applied to the inputs to create the outputs Outputs : documents or documentable items that are a result of the process

Project Management Process Core processes : some planning processes have clear dependencies that require them to be performed in essentially the same order on most project.

Project Management Process Core planning processes include : Scope planning : developing a written scope statement as the basis for future project decisions Scope definition : subdiving the major project deliverables into smaller, more manageable components Activity definition : identifying the specific activities that must be performed to produce the various project deliverable Activity sequencing : identifying and documenting interactivity dependencies

Project Management Process Activity duration estimating : estimating the number of work periods that will be needed to complete individual activities Schedule development : analyzing activity sequences, activity durations, and resource requirements to create the project schedule Risk management planning : deciding how to approach and plan for risk management in project

Project Management Process Resource Planning : determining what resources (people, equipment, materials) and what quantities of each should be used to perform project activities Cost Estimating : developing an approximation (estimate) of the costs of the resources required to complete project activities cost budgeting : allocating the overall cost estimate to individual work activities Project plan development : taking the results of other planning processes and putting them into a consistent, coherent document

Project Management Process Facilitating Processes : interactions among the other planning processes are more dependent on the nature of project

Project Management Process Facilitating processes include : Quality planning Organizational planning Staff acquisition Communications planning Risk identification Qualitative risk analysis Quantitative risk analysis Risk response planning Procurement planning Solicitation planning

Project Management Process Executing Processes : the executing processes include core processes and facilitating processes Project plan execution Quality assurance Team development Information distribution Solicitation Source selection Contract administration

Project Management Process Controlling processes : to monitor and measured project performances and as preventive action in anticipation possible problems.

Project Management Process Closing processes components are : Contract closeout : completion and settlement of the contract, including resolution of any open systems Administrative closure : generating, gathering and disseminating information to formalize phase or project completion, including evaluating the project and compiling lessons learned for use in planning future projects or phases
